Southwestern Chicken

Southwestern Style Chicken

6 boneless, skinless chicken pieces
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. butter
1/2 C salsa
Juice from one lime
1/4 C chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Pound each piece of chicken between sheets of plastic wrap to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Spread lightly with mustard. In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook 3-4 minutes on each side. Stir salsa and lime juice together and add to skillet. Simmer gently, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, and then serve.

Homemaking Tips:::
I actually have one this week! I've been buying fruit trays at the grocery store and paying a lot for the convenience of having someone cut up my fruit for me. I went to the Farmers Market and they were handing out fruit samples from a chip and dip tray. My first thought was "hey I have one of those I never use, I could do that". So I bought a ton of fruit, cut it up, put it in the chip and dip tray and we've been eating it like crazy.



Looking around the house:::
My dogs are all asleep on the bed. My daughter just got up......lazy morning.



From the camera:::
My mom's birthday was on the 4th of July. I made a flag cake, it took all day to make. A baker I am not. The cake turned out great anyway.
